Ingredients
4ozcream cheese,room temperature
1/2cupstrawberry puree
2tbspgranulated sugar
2tspvanilla extract
2cupspremade sweetened light whipped cream
1/2cupfinely diced strawberries
strawberry slices, graham crackers, and/or shortbread cookies for dipping
Instructions
Using a hand mixer, whip together the cream cheese, strawberry puree, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add 1 cup of whipped cream and fold it in gently.
Then add the second cup of whipped cream along with the diced strawberries (reserving a few for topping the dip), and fold it in.
Top with reserved strawberries and serve with sliced strawberries, graham crackers, and/or shortbread cookies.
Notes
Making the Strawberry Puree: 3/4 cup of roughly chopped strawberries will make 1/2 cup of strawberry puree. Add strawberries to a food processor and puree for about 30 seconds, or until smooth. I would not recommend using more than 1/2 cup of puree since that will thin out the dip too much and make it more of a sauce.
Whipped Cream: If you wish to whip your own cream, use 1 cup of whipping or heavy cream plus 2 tbsp powdered sugar. I use Cabot Light Whipped Cream.
